How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?
how does residental normal flora protect the body against pathogens
Shift in flora suggestive of bacterial vaginosis?
A doctor will determine bacterial infections. There are normal flora in the body and a shift in this flora could suggest infection.
The human body typically begins to be colonized by its normal flora when?
before birth
What is a flora give an example?
Flora is the plant life of a specific place or time. It is also the bacteria which reside in the body's organs. An example would be: "If the flora of the intestine are out of balance, so you should take probiotics to restore them".
Is it normal to have 3 plus mixed skin flora within a wound?
Normal skin flora is a combination of many types of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and yeast. When a wound occurs, some "normal flora" are introduced into the wound, especially in a penetrating wound such as a stabbing or shooting. When a wound culture is performed, the pathologist looks for "normal flora" which could become pathogens if the organisms begin to multiply, especially since those organisms of the normal flora are now in a place they should not normally be (i.e. transferred from the skin to inside the body, in a blood-rich environment). The pathologist also looks for other pathogens, such as the once-normal flora of the assailant or perpetrator which could infect the new host (the person with the wound).

Names of bacteria in human beings?
The name of bacteria which normal inhabit the body are called normal flora. The list of these bacteria is quite lengthy. Is there a system in the body in which you are looking for the normal flora names?
What are the sites of normal flora?
Normal flora is present throughout the body and on all areas of the skin. Every body orifice (opening) contains normal flora: the mouth, ears, vagina, and rectum. E-Coli exists in the intestines. The skin contains a variety of flora that can turn into pathogens under the right conditions.
Can normal flora become opportunistic pathogens?
Yes, normal microbial flora can become virulent or pathogenic if the conditions are right. On outside of body normal flora is harmless, if it was to be ingested it would take the opportunity to do as much damage as possible.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of normal flora of the vagina?
Flora exists in various parts of the human body, in both men and women. Vaginal flora, or microbiome, in normal levels has no disadvantage. It helps the vagina stay "normal", clean and healthy.
How normal flora cause infection?
Normal body flora is generally helpful to the organism. In fact having normal body flora occupies space and resources that could otherwise be utilized by pathogens. However, some normal body flora can be harmful if the microbe enters an area of the body that it would not normally be found and can cause infection. These bacteria are known as opportunistic pathogens.
Shift in flora suggestive of bacterial vaginosis?

The human body typically begins to be colonized by its normal flora when?
before birth
What is resident flora?
also called microflora, indigenous flora, normal flora, microbiota, the variety of nonpathogenic microorganisms that normally permanently colonize various parts of the body
When do you get your normal flora?
Normal flora is bacteria and yeast normally found on the skin and in every body orifice (or opening, such as the mouth, ears, rectum, vagina). A newborn carries the flora of his/her mother but soon develops his/her own flora. Flora is present on our bodies until we die. We can disrupt the balance of normal flora, such as when women douche too frequently, and thus the microorganisms begin to multiply and become pathogens.
